Time to make new friends

If your friends won’t make time for you, maybe it’s time you make new friends.

Keep people in your life that...

Keep people in your life that truly love you,
motivate you, encourage you, inspire you,
enhance you and make you happy.
If you have people who do none of the above,
let them go.

No enemy within...

When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.

Take time out to take care of yourself

Sometimes you need to be alone in order to reflect on life.
Take time out to take care of yourself. You deserve it.

We don’t have to agree about everything

We don’t have to agree about everything to be friends.
We do have to treat each other with respect.

I am that I am

Layer by layer I removed all I thought I was, all I thought I had to be and in the moment I was left standing naked and vulnerable without identities and labels. I remembered… I am that I am.
- Lenita Vangelis

Worthy of living a beautiful life

When you realize you are worthy of living a beautiful life,
you won’t let anything or anyone stand in your way.
- Shari Alyse

Who’s worth your tears...

In life you’re going to be left out, talked about, lied to and used.
But you have to decide who’s worth your tears and who’s not.

Trapped between your feelings and what other people...

If you are trapped between your feelings and what other people think is right, always go for whatever makes you happy, unless you want everybody to be happy except you.

Once you learn how to be happy

Once you learn how to be happy, you won’t tolerate being around people that make you feel anything less.

Never be ashamed of what you feel...

I have come to realize that just making myself happy is most important. Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That’s my life motto.

Pleasing others by being someone you are not...

Pleasing others by being someone you are not is a life of misery.
There can only be YOU to be really happy.
- Dodinsky

Don’t allow your wounds to transform you

Don’t allow your wounds to transform you into someone you are not.
- Paulo Coelho

Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness

Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me.
- Al Capone

Even the nicest people have their limits

Success is...

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.
- Maya Angelou

The attitude you bring to life

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
- Kahlil Gibran

The minute I finally felt free.

The minute I stopped caring about what other people thought
and started doing what I wanted to do
is the minute I finally felt free.

To be what you really are.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.
It’s got to happen inside first.

You are not your past

You are not your past actions.
You are not your past failures.
You are not how others have at one time treated you.
You are only who you think you are right now in this moment.
You are only what you do right now in this moment.
